My Project
In our mild/moderate reading resource classroom, many of my students have autism and/or ADHD and struggle to stay focused when they’re required to sit still for extended periods. Movement isn’t a distraction for them — it’s a vital support.
This bike will allow students to pedal while reading, writing, or completing independent tasks.
It provides a sensory-friendly way to increase attention, reduce restlessness, and improve academic engagement. Instead of being asked to "sit still and focus," they’ll be empowered to move and focus — which is how they learn best.
Your support will help create a more inclusive, responsive classroom environment where all students can feel successful. Thank you for considering a donation to help meet the unique needs of these incredible learners.
